Lia Sophia Social Fashion Suite at New York Fashion Week

While in New York for Fashion Week, I attended the Lia Sophia Social Suite to preview their latest jewelry selection, including the debut of the Zingara Red Carpet collection designed by Nylon’s Style Editor-at-Large, Dani Stahl.

Both collections have statement-making jewelry and also some smaller pieces that are great for layering. My absolute favorite was this necklace that came in a few different colors (but purple’s my favorite!) and thanks to the lovely Lia Sophia team, I got to take it home with me…

Dalla Nonna Calendar Necklaces

I recently came across a really unique jewelry line (which happens to be based in Chicago!) that’s known for these special calendar necklaces. They come in silver, rose gold, white gold and yellow gold with a variety of stones that can be placed on a meaningful date. Whether it’s an anniversary, birthday or any other special occasion, I think these necklaces make THE perfect gift.

If you’re not a necklace person, these also come in wrap bracelets that can be made with or without extra charms. How can you not love these?!

Chi City Closet: Latch Collection Bracelet

I think it’s obvious by now that I have a sick obsession with neon. Mix that with a local designer who creates handmade bright and fun bracelets? It’s Latch Collection by Laura Jastram…how can you not love it.

When it comes to jewelry, I love to layer. The more the merrier, right? This piece is a statement on its own, but it’s still fun to mix it up and wear with my watch and a few other simpler bracelets.

Latch Collection bracelets also make a great gift for the holidays. Who wouldn’t want a neon addition to their arm party? Visit Latch Collection on Etsy for more info.
